    As long as you're using an app with the "full Dropbox" permission, this call should return all files in the specified path, regardless of extension.

     

    You are specifying the path "/CahierFantastique" though. Are you sure the files you're looking for are in that folder in the connected Dropbox account?

     

    For example, if they are in the root folder of the account, you would just specify "/" instead (i.e., https://api.dropbox.com/1/metadata/dropbox/?oauth_...).

     

    Also, you're using API v1, which is deprecated. You should migrate to API v2 whenever possible.

     

    To list items under a particular path using API v2, you would use /2/files/list_folder[/continue]. (Note that in API v2 though, the root folder is identified using the empty string "", instead of "/".)
